'"1_ - - SOUTHWEST BREEZES By Romaine Saunders Mr. and Mrs. Baker were Albion visitors last week. Art Doolittle has gone to O’Neill to serve on the jury. John Bower marketed a truck load of cattle in Omaha last week. Mrs. Saunders visited at the Roblyer home near Atkinson Sun day. The Eliott Carpenter family have taken up their abode in the Roblyer house. Wayne Hall returned Sunday with his sister, Miss Laverne, w'ho has been away on a visit. E. E. Young went to town Thurs day for medical advise and help for a distressing backache. Attorney J. D. Cronin, of O’Neill, and Dr. Douglas, of Atkinson, were in Amelia and vicinity Sunday. John Freaurick had business at Burwell last Saturday, trouble with the car delaying his return until late in the night. A solid bank of snow still bars the way for a short distance up the road a mile north of Inez, mak ing a detour thru the meadow necessary. Government activities are past finding out. Two and a half months ago a veterinarian was sent out here and found no T. B. cattle. Now they come again. They get'so much per day and mileage. Contract is to be let the 26th for the new highway across from No. 11 to Amelia. This strip of road has been a lot of expense to Wyom ing township and never satisfactory for travel. Citizens here will be glad to see it converted into a per manent highway. Purchasing committees do not seem to have yet reached that stage in economical spending of public money which renders them immune from the blandishments of the Delilah? business firms employ to catch suckers from the country. John Addison, from the neigh borhood of Opportunity, came out last week with his son Cap who lives over west of the lake. They stopped for a hand shake with the old man here during his absence. Will be home next week, John, so come again. An ably edited national farm journal classifies the critics of the supreme court with the group at the ball game which shouts, “Kill the umpire.” Less than four years ago repre sentatives of four nations sat down to a table in Rome and signed the Four Power Pact, a “scrap of paper” to insure the peace of Europe for a period of ten years. The brotherly agreement seems on the point of exploding. Oklahoma and Kansas are again experienceing severe dust storms. This community may again be “sprayed” with a rain of mud when the southern winds begin fanning us. At some points in Oklahoma clouds of dust have been reported ’til visibility was reduced to 200 feet. If the shelter belt promoters are looking for places to plant trees where they will grow they are in vited into the southwest, where there are no dry clay hills nor gravel flats to waste time on. If 60-ft. high cotton woods with 3-ft. trunks are any evidence, plenty of it is here. The clear notes of the meadow lark are again heard but the ooo 00-000 of the prairie rooster is missing from the early morning sounds that awaken the new day at the beginning of spring. It is feared the few prairie chickens that were left in the country perished during the winter. Holt county has the first gentle man superintendent of school for many years. Beginning with Miss Zink some thirty or more years ago there was a long line of lady superintendents. The first super intendent of schools within my memory was Rev. Bartley Blain, who was also the first Methodist preacher in the county. His work was largely without funds to carry on office expenses and teachers i were secured for a few months term each year at $15 and $20 a month. School houses were few, the schools being conducted for the most part in one of the homes of the people. WHAT A SALE! Everything imaginable — Tires, Paint, Auto Supplies, Dishes.
